What frags qualify?

I’m in sf - don’t have many frags to swap but I will see what I can do! Definitely want to come!

Wow thank you so much I’ll text you

Hi BAR I am wondering if anyone living in SF would be able to lend me a 10 gallon qt set up (tank, cover,filter - I have a heater). I live in SF (mission). Happy to repay the favor in some way (buying some grabs from you or something else). The reason I ask is that I have a possum wrasse that...

Thank you! I'll pm you!

It is a Kessil a80. And I agree the morning light on the tank is really nice. I am putting a curtain around the tank when I leave for the day so it doesn’t get too much natural light.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I went to Aquatic Collection last Sunday and picked up a geometric Pygmy hawkfish and a frag of birdsnest. The hawkfish is doing really well so far! In terms of new additions I’m doing some thjinkkng about where I will get them (AC was pretty far)! I would...

Thanks so much Mike! what you write is basically what I thought, 6th ave aquarium is not a happy place. have you ever had experience with Bay Bridge Aquarium in Oakland? They seem new...

Thanks! Looking forward to the swap!

Hi everyone! After being away for the summer I found a great deal on a 10 gallon nuvo with basically everything you could want on craigslist the weekend I returned and so now I have a tank again after almost 20 years (since high school!). The set up came up rock, sand, 6 corals, a cleaner shrimp...

Must of got buried in my second to last post - about 20 lbs (planning out a 20 gallon Nuvo fusion or nuvo peninsula)

Also thanks California Reef for responding - this option is too much rock for me, but I very much appreciate you’re taking the time to let me now!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and advice. It looks like I’ll have to go with tank cured rather than aquacultured rock. I’m looking for about 20lbs (planning on setting up at 20 gallon). I’ll be away for June so I won’t be setting up the tank to cycle until early July or August. Just...

Good to know, thanks!

Hi BARs! As I continue to plan out my tank I’m wondering if people have advice about where I can find “real” live rock in the Bay Area. What I mean by real is something like Tampa bay aquatics or gulf live rock - rock that is shipped wet and is full of life. Are there any shops around the bay...

Hahaha I just realized "RO Buddie" is the brand name, though you were calling me "buddy" :p

Totally agree that set up would be more stable and would be my ideal small set up (I'd love a sump w/a cheato fuge). But I cannot fit a tank larger than 24" long (which the 20g long is) and a 24" cube is simply too wide. In the end, the set up will have to be a compromise between a bunch of...

Thanks everyone for your responses - getting to hear about people's actual experiences is exactly what I was hoping for by posting on this forum! It sounds like people are finding success with various water sources. I also checked out the Whole Foods by my home and they sell RODI water at 49...

Great to know!

Thanks very much - that’s a very kind offer and so many folks responding is very reassuring! I think the tank just got more likely in the next few months (still need to do research and make some decisions). Maybe I’ll try to come to a group meeting or event before I get the tank to meet some of you!
